In the dystopian action film, America is shown as being at war with itself as Donald Trump fights to unseat Joe Biden and win back the presidency.

Alex Garland's dystopian action film "Civil War" exceeded expectations by raking in $25.7 million at the domestic box office over the weekend, marking A24's most successful opening yet. With a budget of $50 million, this ambitious project represents a significant venture for A24 as it ventures into larger-scale productions.
Opinions on the film are divided, evident from its mixed reception. Despite only receiving a B- CinemaScore from moviegoers and mixed PostTrack exits, "Civil War" managed to attract a predominantly male audience, constituting 73 percent of viewers. The inclusion of Imax screenings proved advantageous, contributing over 16 percent of the total earnings.
"Civil War" follows a group of journalists led by Kirsten Dunst's character as they navigate a dystopian America under the authoritarian rule of a three-term president, portrayed by Nick Offerman. While the film depicts a divided and hostile United States, it refrains from delving deeply into red state/blue state divisions, opting instead to focus on the characters' journey. The political landscape is vaguely portrayed, with a nod to real-world events such as the disbandment of the FBI, reminiscent of former President Trump's calls to "defund" the Bureau.
The timing of "Civil War's" release coincides with a politically charged election year, with President Biden and former President Trump once again prominent figures. Director Alex Garland noted at a SXSW panel that the film's release feels pertinent given the ongoing political discourse in the country.
Despite its divisive subject matter, "Civil War" attracted a primarily male audience. Meanwhile, "Monkey Man," starring Dev Patel, faced a disappointing second weekend at the box office, dropping to sixth place with $4 million, bringing its domestic total to $17.6 million. It earned an additional $1.3 million internationally, resulting in a global total of $22.8 million under Universal's distribution deal with Jordan Peele's Monkey Paw Productions.
Meanwhile, Warner Bros. and Legendary's "Godzilla vs. Kong: The New Empire" maintained its strong performance, securing the second spot at the box office with $15.5 million in its third weekend. The film's domestic total reached $157.9 million, with a global haul of $436.6 million.
Overall, box office revenues for the year were down by 16 percent, with notable declines in recent weeks.
Sony's "Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire" secured the third spot in its fourth weekend, grossing $5.8 million domestically, bringing its total to $96.9 million in the United States and $160 million worldwide.

Meanwhile, in its seventh weekend, Legendary and Warner Bros.' "Dune: Part 2" continued to perform well, earning $4.3 million domestically, pushing its domestic total to $272.3 million and its global earnings to an impressive $683.9 million. Warner Bros. has become the first Hollywood studio of the year to surpass the $1 billion mark at the international box office, thanks to the success of both "Dune: Part 2" and "Godzilla vs. Kong."
